Communities without profile pictures look dull and lifeless.

That's why we’ve introduced mandatory profile picture upload on the onboarding flow for both members and creators.



When new members join they’ll be asked to upload a profile picture, and an optional bio before entering your community.

Just like that, your community became more personal.

Other Improvements:

• Reduced the opacity on secondary color gradients to improve contrast ratio

• Fixed a bug that was impacting mobile inbox attachments

Communities without DMs are like Italy without pizza—something crucial is missing. But here at MemberUp, we've got you covered. 

Introducing our all-new Inbox feature, where you can enjoy private or group chats right within your community. It's all the functionality you and your members love from Instagram, now in your very own, beautifully branded community space.

With the MemberUp Inbox, you can initiate one-on-one conversations, gather your community members for group chats, customize chat names, effortlessly manage participants, send attachments, and quickly spot unread messages.

This new and improved inbox is available on all plans.

Other Improvements:
